  • A Leader's Journey: from Iran Into Space
    TESTIMONY A Leader’s Journey: From Iran Into Space Interview with Anousheh ANSARI, founder and chairman of Prodea Systems Anousheh Ansari has dreamed of travelling into the stars for as long as she can remember. In September 2006, she made this dream come true and became the first woman “space explorer”. Entrepreneur and business leader, Ansari was elected to the Forum of Young Global Leaders in 2007. The credo she lives by is form Gandhi and translates a distinct mindset: “Be the change you want to see in the world”. In this interview, Ansari shares her vision of global leadership. What do you consider the attributes of a global leader to be, and why do you define your- self as begin one of them? A global leader’s principal quality is a constant awareness that the world is far vaster than his or her local environment. People tend to restrict their viewpoint to routine activities and to information received that is primarily related to events that are close to home. As a result, people cannot help but develop biases. Any leader whose decisions will potentially have a global impact must repeatedly put him or herself in situations and positions that remind him that the world goes far beyond what is immediately perceptible to the eye. Personally, I travel very often, both for business and for pleasure, and I ensure that each trip is a learning opportunity. I was born in Iran and went to a French Catholic school. I thus became familiar with French and Canadian cultures—both of which are quite diffe- rent from my native culture—when I was quite young.

  • Following the Path That Heroes Carved Into History: Space Tourism, Heritage, and Faith in the Future
    religions Article Following the Path That Heroes Carved into History: Space Tourism, Heritage, and Faith in the Future Deana L. Weibel Departments of Anthropology and Integrative, Religious, and Intercultural Studies, Grand Valley State University, Allendale, MI 49401, USA; [email protected] Received: 29 November 2019; Accepted: 28 December 2019; Published: 2 January 2020 Abstract: Human spaceflight is likely to change in character over the 21st century, shifting from a military/governmental enterprise to one that is more firmly tied to private industry, including businesses devoted to space tourism. For space tourism to become a reality, however, many obstacles have to be overcome, particularly those in finance, technology, and medicine. Ethnographic interviews with astronauts, engineers, NASA doctors, and NewSpace workers reveal that absolute faith in the eventual human occupation of space, based in religious conviction or taking secular forms, is a common source of motivation across different populations working to promote human spaceflight. This paper examines the way faith is expressed in these different contexts and its role in developing a future where space tourism may become commonplace. Keywords: anthropology; tourism; spaceflight; NASA; heritage; exploration 1. Introduction Space tourism is an endeavor, similar to but distinctly different from other forms of space travel, that relies on its participants’ and brokers’ faith that carrying out brave expeditions, modeled on and inspired by those in the past, will ultimately pay off in a better future for humankind. Faith, in this case, refers to a subjective sense that a particular future is guaranteed and may or may not have religious foundations. This faith appears to be heightened by the collective work undertaken by groups endeavoring to send humans into space, creating a sense of what anthropologists Victor and Edith Turner have described as communitas, a shared feeling of equality and common purpose.

  • Space Tourism
    Space Tourism In 1969, a man walked on the Moon for the first time. After this, many people thought that space travel would be available by the year 2000 and that we would all be space tourists. However, here we are in 2015 and space tourism is still an impossible dream for most of us. It is a reality for only a very few, very rich, people. Who has already had a holiday in space? In 2006, Anousheh Ansari became the first female space tourist when she made the How would you get to your space hotel? trip from Russia to the International Space Station (ISS). Anousheh stayed on the ISS for eight days and kept a blog (an online diary). Parts of her blog are shown here. In the future there may be hotels in space for all the tourists. It wouldn’t take long for the space shuttle to get out of the Earth’s atmosphere. Then, without Earth’s gravity, you would become weightless. Arrival at the hotel would be like an Anousheh’s Space Blog aeroplane parking at an airport, but you would leave the cabin floating along the access tube, September 25th holding on to a cable. Everyone wants to know: how do you take a shower in space? How do you brush your teeth? Well my friends, I must admit keeping clean in space is not easy! There is no shower with running water. Water does not ‘flow’ What would a space here, it ‘floats’ – which makes it a challenging act to Fact: The Russian Space Agency holiday be like? clean yourself.

La prima riguarda la storia politica della Guerra Fredda che considera la conquista dello spazio e lo sviluppo di potenti missili come parte di una più grande competizione tra gli USA e l’URSS. La seconda esamina in particolar modo lo sviluppo scientifico e tecnologico a partire dagli anni Ottanta, ossia da quando l’abolizione della censura ha permesso l’apertura al pubblico di molti archivi storici e la rivelazione di importanti informazioni. La terza include la propaganda sovietica e la fantascienza come parte fondamentale della storia culturale e sociale sia dell’URSS che della Russia post-rivoluzione. Il presente lavoro analizza la storia dell’esplorazione spaziale sovietica e, partendo dalle sue origini (fine XIX° secolo), prende in considerazione i principali successi che portarono al lancio del primo satellite artificiale nel 1957 e il primo uomo sulla luna nel 1961.

  • Anousheh Ansari "First Female Private Space Explorer & First Space Ambassador” Anousheh Ansari Is a Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Prodea Systems
    AIAA Human Space Flight Beyond LEO Panel Members Anousheh Ansari "First Female Private Space Explorer & First Space Ambassador” Anousheh Ansari is a Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Prodea Systems. As she launched her company, on September 18, 2006, she also blasted off for an eight-day expedition aboard the International Space Station and captured headlines around the world as the first female private space explorer. She also earned a place in history as and the first astronaut of Iranian descent, the first Muslim woman, and the fourth private explorer to visit space. This was the accomplishment of a lifelong dream for her. As a successful serial entrepreneur and active proponent of world-changing technologies and social entrepreneurship she along with her family provided the title sponsorship for the Ansari X Prize, a $10 million cash award for the first non-governmental organization to launch a reusable manned spacecraft into space twice within two weeks. This feat was accomplished in 2004 by legendary aerospace designer Burt Rutan in 2004. With the success of the X Prize competition, Ansaris had helped launch a new era in private space exploration. Prior to her Space ventures, Anousheh served as co-founder, chief executive officer, and chairwoman for Telecom Technologies, Inc.; subsequently earning three key U.S. patents and growing 100% sequentially yearly since inception, her company successfully merged with Sonus Networks, where she served as General Manager and Vice President of the Softswitch division.
